Get the skinny fries! I had the Beef Bourguignon, which was tasty but not at all what I expected. Large hunk of meat with a delicious red wine sauce, a few veggies, and homemade noodles beside. (I am used to a more stew-like preparation.) My friend had the steak tartare, which he said was delicious (I don't do tartare, so I couldn't say!), and our other friend had the lobster risotto, which was great as well. Everyone ate the fries that came with the tartare!

Pre-theater dinner at this always reliable restaurant. The salmon was perfectly prepared. The French white wine selections are a bit limited. We were in and out in just over an hour, and didn’t feel at all rushed. Cafe Centro remains on the preferred list.

I really like the ambiance of this restaurant from the moment I step inside. On the two occasions that I've been there, the maitre d' came to our table with very helpful suggestions about wine options. Last time I enjoyed the monkfish on a bed of butternut squash and my friend had the ribeye steak. I look forward to my next visit so I can try other options!

Food and service were fantastic only it was very loud and a little hard to have a conversation - would definitely go again but not during 12-1:30 time frame. Been there for breakfast too, very good and not as loud as lunch.

While the menu is a bit pricey, the portions are a good size and well prepared. The prix fix menu basically gave you a free desert. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. Kudos to the manager for checking on us several times and stopping by to chat.

Love this restaurant. The service is excellent. Everything was delicious - the best crab cakes. The host was very patient and accommodating in helping us choose the perfect wine for our dinner. Great table near the fireplace. Many thanks for a wonderful dining experience

Had a business lunch here. It is a very big and busy restaurant, a little noisy and attracts a professional crowd at lunch. However, the food was very good, the service was attentive, the ambiance was nice and the location, next to grand central station, can't be beat. I will have lunch here again

Cafe Centro is a reliably excellent restaurant. Great cuisine choices, excellent presentation, and always accommodating staff. A little pricey, but the location and convenience more than make up for it.

Cafe Centro always delivers! We were 2 couples catching up at dinner. Cafe Centro honored our special request to have a quiet table by the fireplace - a lovely spot, attractive and good for conversation. The Restaurant Week menu was excellent - we had beets and escargot, followed by Veal and Roasted Sea Bass. Service was discreet and thorough. All super. A great evening at Cafe Centro.

Have patronized this restaurant many times. It's usually a good spot for a business meal, if overpriced. Today I had a$20 omelet that had runny eggs. The waiter did not check on us until the end of the meal. Not impressive for the upscale cost.

Bass just isn't exactly "zesty" on its own but as served , this was tasty and filling. Attentive serine, nice setting and view onto the sidewalks of NY all combined for a perfectly pleasant lunch. Central location is just one more factor in Café Centro's favor.

We had dinner for Restaurant Week so we ate from a limited menu. The food was excellent, especially the bass and stewed veal. The ambience was great. Low noise so we could hear ourselves converse. I will certainly revisit this restaurant.

The restaurant was decorated very nice, the server was very hard to understand, my date wanted a sweet drink, she didn't understand that. She brought it to the table and my date didn't like it. It took the server 20 minutes to come back and ask about it. I ordered something else, I thought she would take it off the bill, but offered to "fix" it.

Our waitress was quietly friendly & attentive, and accommodating. We asked if it was possible to have the lobster risotto as an appetizer; she asked the kitchen, & they obliged us. The food was very good, (especially the Monday special, Coq au Vin), with ample servings. The side of Brussels Sprouts was excellent. A lovely meal, all around.
